The best concert that I have heard in 40 years was Jack Bruce, Dick Heckstall-Smith and The Norman Beaker Band playing at the Old Vic in Nottingham in December 1987. Jack had not lost his fire then and he was pretty hot battling against a lousy sound system in Nottingham about three years ago. However he has had a liver transplant just over a year ago and Ginger is reported not to be able to keep up a sustained drumming action due to a polo accident damaging his arm a number of years ago so I have mixed feelings about the re-union. All things being equal however I don't think we'll see any namby pamby nostalgia trip from these three.
